Tel: (559) 924-9658

 

Designed by un-known. The front and the back nines at Lemoore were built same 30 years apart. The front side has mature trees is much shorter, and has smaller greens. The back nine is 400 yards longer, with freeway-wide fairways and larger greens. Chances are your game will be suited far a least half of this course. From Visalia (about 30 miles west to. the course): Take Highway 198 west to the 18th Avenue exit. Take 18th Avenue south to lona Avenue. Turn right an lona Avenue to the course. An aid, short, tight nine (front) with average greens, and a new, long, open nine (back) with good greens. Overall, a good value. The stench an the last few hales may not be your game; it could be the near by sewage plant.
